ABSTRACT
A Framework Decision of the Council of the European Union was made on 13 June 2002 for the introduction of this international warrant and to speed up 'surrender procedures' between member states. The Daily Mail continued its discussion of the EAW as follows: The British Government and courts are powerless to protect anyone who becomes the subject of a European Arrest Warrant. The House of Lords held that member states of the EU were entitled to assume that other member states would comply with their treaty obligations, including the ECHR. Despite the globalisation of crime, such as terrorism and fraud, it must not be thought that extra-territoriality in British statutes is an entirely new development, or that interpretational quibbling over the jurisdiction of the British courts only arises in the case of modern legislation.
